The Tenpenny/Ghoul quest is on par with an average quest in New Vegas. Some of the Casino questslines get downright labyrinthian.

I just meant the twist ending. I'm well aware of all the variety of ways you can complete poo poo in NV. I was startled to hear, for instance, that you don't have to kill any of the Nightkin. If you avoid them and just get to the leader you can talk him down. I love talking my way out of things in RPG's. But I never even suspected this was an option when I played the game. And there's a ton more stuff like all the ways to complete the White Gloves quest.

But anyway, Roy massacring everyone while you are away is just something I'd never seen in any BioWare game which is all I had played before Fallout 3 and NV. I never suspected anything like that could happen after you found the "golden ending."

I've done that, too. They do make mention of Ulysses in all of the DLCs, so I thought maybe there was an explicit reference to something at the end of Honest Hearts that I had just forgotten about.


Both Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 I think have the same story issue where you ask, "What are the villains' goals?", and you can't get a real definite answer. The Enclave wanted the water purifier in Fallout 3 for..some reason (you can say FEV, but have issues with that point). In Fallout 4, the 'villain' I felt was Father and the Institute, but I never really got a clear idea of what their goal was in my playthrough. I think you have to specifically side with them to figure out what they plan to do (which I think was nuke the wasteland and repopulate it with synths or something).

I swear I’ll post something reasonable and worth reading after I watch the hobbit video, but I really don’t see the issue with eating a cinnamon bun frosted by a dildo, so long as the dildo has never been used for any other purpose.

Doug is not a person worth defending, but eating a dildo bun is nothing to be ashamed of imo.

The interview with Oin's actor was great but it hammered home just how unfixable the movies are. It doesn't matter how much you edit out to make one four hour film if the main cast got increasingly sidelined as production went on. It's not just a matter of the good stuff getting buried, but of the emotional core getting overruled by the need for action scenes.

To be honest Lordkat easily came off the worst in that video, but given how spoony chat seems to go in the thread it was a good call on limiting it.

I went ahead and watched Knudsen's (Down the Rabbit Hole guy) Spoony video, it's mostly fine aside from devoting a shitload of time to playing a Lordkat rant unedited. I skipped over that part and didn't feel like I missed anything :shrug:

Here's the real kicker, it was edited. The original rant was much angrier, longer and more unpleasant to listen to. And he's done even more vile streams. The guy really is trash.

Probably because outing the predator risks outing the victims, and people- especially internet people- don't have a good track record regarding interacting with victims of sexual predation.

Yeah like.. there's obviously understandable reasons like the above, but at the same time I want them to get thrown to the wolves like they deserve, don't let them slink off to keep doing it elsewhere, don't let it become Open Secret Predator #14592.

Yeah I don't have a huge problem with (it still makes me weary of those people no matter how much I "like" them.) people staying there. My problem with Tony is that he's a huge hypocrite.

Uuuuh and don't look into who the predator is. It sucks but if the victim doesn't want to out themselves respect it. The backlash towards the victims when you out someone as as exual abuser is horrible. Respect her.

I mean it sounds like a lot of it is more recent than LK's time with the channel, and it also sounds like its someone who is still around.

but yeah few things are funnier than when LordKatt threw a huge fit because Spoony cost him his chance to be generic game reporter toadie #33392834

I much prefer Down the Rabbit Hole when it's about offline stuff like Henry Darger or that Rajneesh thing, or even boosting stories like Mother Horse Eyes. Drama videos usually just leave me feeling drained even if the subject deserves to be put on blast, or the video-maker is fair, or the subject isn't someone I'm invested in like I used to be with Spoony ten years ago.

SgtSteel91 posted:

I really liked the NV Dlc and was invested in the through-line narrative in all of them leading up to Lonesome road, similarly with the Lost Crowns dlc in Dark Souls 2 which I also really liked.

I haven't played any Fallout except parts of 1, but hearing Noah Caldwell-Gervais describe that narrative made me extra interested in playing New Vegas.

Did Hbomberguy miss that part of the quest when he played the game? He brought up that quest as an example of the game having childishly black and white morality, which it isn't. (I acknowledge that this is a nitpick, he has other examples, and this doesn't prove his other points wrong or make the game beyond reproach.)

I feel pretty bad for Rollo since it sucks being in this kind of situation, his apology is also 1000x better than CA's (though that is not a high bar at all). Also I can relate with the ol Catholic guilt making things worse for him.

Honestly its probably one of the more even keel ways of talking about Spoony's rise and fall and only gets uncomfortable when he plays the edited LK rant. Like this isn't a mockery video from some ED jagoff, its mostly just sad and sympathetic for what happened to Noah.

Yeah, this thread is getting way too "Lalala, plug my ears, can't hear you!" about literally anything about Spoony. Its like when people would talk about a certain anime in various mock threads of the past, don't know what this anime was but it was always brought up as "That anime that shall not be named" or "tatsnbn". Is Spoony going to be this thread's "That reviewer that shall not be named"? Its ok to talk about him guys, he isn't a pedophile anime.
